ST.. Louis, Oct. 3.-The amount Of
ill-feeling among democratic Grand
Army men over the defeat of Cen
eral Slocum for commander in-chief is
extraordinary, and it is very likely to
lead to heavy defections from the or

feat as actuated entirely by political
motives. Ex-Gov. Stoneman of Cali

utterly disconnected by the way things
have gone in the encampment. In the
course of long interview Oh the sub

the encampment, in which he said that
the Grand Army Of the Republic was
greater than the president and greater

man in his senses should give utter

any society in the country, whether

is greater than the government, is rank
treason. Ny understanding Of the
Grand Amy of the Republic is that

DISRUPTION FAVORED.
81 think, taking all things into
consideration that the defeat of Gen.
Slocum for commander-in-chief ought
to be sufficient to disrupt the Grand
Army. It is evident to my mind, that
Gen. Slocum was defeated because he
was democrat. No man with eyes
and ears who moved about the hotel

serve that politics was behind every
thing. am member of the Grand
Army. I joined it with che under
standing that it would have nothing
at all to do with politics. / was quite
sure tnar the Uticers uf tho essoofatioz1
would be chosen because of their mill
tary services; but when I see an
officer of Gen. Slocum's record
and reputation defeated because
he is a democrat, and an unknown
man chosen in his stead, I think it
about time for the democrats Of the or
der to put on their thinking caps. The
Grand Army of the Republic could
not honor Gen. slocum but Gen. Slo-
cum would have honored the G. A. R.
as its commander-in-chief.
General Slocum is almost as bitter,
but more guarded in his language.

Notwithstanding the absorbing na-

liberals find time to adopt as a. new
and definite plank in their platform
the disestablishment Of tAe state church

lot to lead the movement in parliament.

church, and if he should live many
years longer he would probably take
the leading part in separating church

A Good Remedy.

Every little while, writes a cor respondent. we read in the papers of some one who has stuck a rIs- ty uail in his foot, or knees, or hand. or some other portion of his person, and that lockaw has resulted therefrom. of which the patient died. If every person in the world was aware Oi a perfect remedy for all such wounds, and would apply it, then all such re- ports must cease. But although we can give the remedy, we can- not enforce it's application. some will not employ it because they think it too simple others will have no faith in it when they read It, while others often think such wounds of small account, and not worth fus3sing over, until It Is too late to do any good, Yet, all such wounds can be healed without the fatal consequences which follow them. The remedy is simple, al most always on hand, and can be applied by any one; and what is i better, it is infallable. It IS slm- ply to smoke the wound, or any bruise or wound that Is inflamed, with burning wool or wooden cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke ol wool will take the pain out of the worst wound, and repeated once or twice. it will allay the worst case of inflammation arising from a wound we ever saw. People may sheer at the "old mans remedy as much as they please, but when they are afflicted just let them try i it. IL has saved many lives and much pain. and is worthy of being printed in letters Of gold and put in every home. N. o. Times-Dem- l Ocrat.

The other day, a man in New York kissed his wife, and she dropped dead. Now it is nothing more than fair to suppose that she had heart.disease, but still there must have been some cause for her to drop off so suddenly, some sudden fright or surprise. Could 1t be possible that the surprise at being kissed by her husband caused her heart to cease beating! When we stop to think oft does not seem so very strange; there are hundreds of married men in this country today who hasn't kissed their wives in so long a time that the faithful helpmates have entirely forgotton how it tastes. We are, however, liable 10 be wrong in this ease. Possi- bly, before going home. he was in duced by the growing bangs of hunger. to tackle a free lunch. down around the battery some where. and II was his breath that killed her. Husbands who go long tine between kisses cannot be too careful about their wives, especially if the lady is at all delicate, or subject to heart disease. -Peck's Sun.

Neither Arms nor Legs.

Some strangS things happen m this world, and we occasionally see some very strange freaks or nature, but it is not often we see a man without arms or legs unless he was born that way. But here is an exception: Wm. Worden was born in Hempstead county, Arkansas, iu 1886, where he lived to be lad of lJ, when he moved with his parents to Texas. There he lived until the smoke of war filled the air and breastworks and the yawning mouths of cannons di- vided the North and South. There Mir. Worlcn, filled with the same craze for war that led thousands to death, joined company and took up the line of march to the battle grounds of virginia. He en- listed in the company of Capt. Frank Benton, the gallant officer who was killed in the battle of Seven Pines. In the same battle Mir. Worden had his left leg torn off by piece of shell. He was carried to a farm house that had been filled up for temporary hos pital. His leg was dressed and he was resting we'll the second day after his misfortune, when shell thrown from a federal battery struck the hospital, passed through the roof and exploded in the room. Of course it was very destructive and the deadly missiles of war turned loose by the shell scarcely missed a man in the room. Many were killed dead, others were maimed and mangled, while oth- CTS were burned, as the house was set on fire by the explosion and burned to the ground, Mir. Wor den had one arm torn of just be- low the elbow, yet he had strength and nerve enough to escape from the flames. and even to help some others less fortunate than himself,
 II. tue time Worden was able to set out for his distant home, but his means of travel was not good. He had whittled out a wooden leg on which he could walk very well and therefore he walked most of the way home.
 Just after the war he was thrown from mule and lost his other leg. Then he walked on two "pins' and got along admirably, so he says. until two years ago lie went fishing in the Trinity river. While engaged in turning over some logs, looking for bait he was bitten on the hand by an enor- nous rattlesnake, which mortified ton coming on, necessitated am putatlon of the hand and part of the forearm.
 The poor mans legs are off be- low his knees and his arms below the elbows. He IS quite cheerful, and walks about quite actively. He is teacher and says he gets along nicely. He passed up the Iron Mountain yesterday en route to Washington City, where he hopes to secure artificial limbs that will measurabiy make a man out o him.'-Arkansas Demo. crat.

For the next three or four months the agriculture side of the farmers life will be uppermoSt, and unless d special interest is manifested in live stock that part of the business will be almost lost sight of. It is not good policy t0 overlook one interest on ac. count of the attention required by the other and the wise and judi cious farmer will find time to look after his fiocks and herds, even if the crops are requiring his at tention. The loss of one by neg feet may amount to much more than is gained by the constant at tention given the other-JudSo. mia Advance.

He Certainly Put His Foot in it..

A prominent Chicago req, estate man and his partner were the best of friends, and their intimacy ex- tended 10 personal as well as busi matters. His partner was a bach. elor and was in the habit of read. ing him his letters of an ardent and affectionate nature from a young lady who signed herself Susie" The hero of the story went away on an extended trip re- turned just in time to attend the wedding of his partner Wishing to show his good will he sent the happy couple wedding present, and at the wedding reception stepped gallantly forward to pay his respects.
 'l hardly feel like Il stranger" he said, in his sweetest tones, ad- dressing the bride; Fin fact l feel as though l ought to be quite vel acquainted with my partners wife since he has often done me the honor to read to me extracts from his his dear Susie's letter"

The first telegraph line in the world was put up between Wash ington City and Baltimore, and the line was extended from Balti- more, to Philadelphia. That was in Is44. Dr. William Abram Love, of Atlanta, then d young NJ. D., was in the Philadelphia office when the the first connection was made wiihe the capital. He says that when communication was se- cured and messages began to pass to and fro, the crowd Tn the Phila- delphia office declined to believe that they were really recieving messages from the people in Washington. After time one young man proposed what he said would be conclusive test. He knew one of the men then Ill the Washington office, and the two had some private transaction about a gun. "Ask MT.

IS HE INSANE?

Mr.. Samuel A. Cookson, of Lake
Crystal, was examined in the Probate
court this afternoon as to his sanity. A
board consisting of Drs. Cullen, of Lake
Cryrtal, Harrington and Davis, of Man
kato, conducted the examination, after
which several witnesses were called.
Mr.. Buck appeared in defense of Mr..
Cookson and Attorney Smith for the
State. Mrs. Walter Cole and Mr.. and
Mrs. E. Franchere, Mrs. Mary Niles
and others, of Lake Crystal were exam
med. The testimony elected the follow
ing facts: Last September Mr.. Cook
sons wife died, since which time he has
accused Mrs. Cole and Mrs. Franchere
of being the cause of her death, they
having attended her during her illness.
He is said to have made some threats
against the lives of these ladies and he
was arrested on complaint of Mrs. Cole,
and brought before Justice Mead, OF
Lake Crystal, few days ago, the object
being to put him under bonds to keep
the peace The Justice discharged him
Judging him to be insane.
1t is understood that there are several
witnesses to testify in Mr.. Cookson's de-
Tense. Mr.. Cookson has lived in this
county for large number of years, and
at Lake Crystal for the past two or three
years. The examination had not beer

ST. CLOUD, DULUTH, MANKATO
AND SOUTHERN RAILROAD.

Messrs J. F. Meagher, John C. Wise
and John A. willard, of this city, were
at st. Paul yesterday and attended the
meeting of the directors of the st. Cloud,
Duluth, Mankato & Southern railroad.
There was quite good representation
of business men from all along the pro-
posed line of the road, especially from
Albert Lea and st, Cloud. The meeting
was of an informal character, and all
present were given an opportunity of
presenting their views. Representa-
tions were made that funds would be
forthcoming, presumably from Eastern
capitalists, to insure the completion of
the road provided sufficient aid and the
right of way were obtained through the
different towns. The sentiment seemed
to be that the present company should
complete the survey and continue to
control the affairs of the road, and OBJ
lection was made to transferring the
franchise to any other company.
An organization was perfected with j..
+. Meagher, president; Jno. A. willard,
secretary; II. III. Carson, of New Rich
land, treasurer. A committee was ap-
pointed to make the necessary investi
cations, survey, etc, with power to
make light assessment to pay expen-
ses. The gentlemen appointed were as
follows: T. Hall, Albert Lea; J. F.
Meagher, Mankato; d. B. Smith, Aus
tin; w. Ii. Greanleaf, Litchfield.
More stock was subscribed for by the
directors, and adjournment taken to
meet upon call of the president.
Several of the gentlemen present were
sanguine that the road would be COM
pleted during next year. Such an
event is possible. If the Milwaukee or
Manitoba could be interested in the
road its early construction would seem
more probable.
